J, who has osteoarthritis and balance problems, has had a three month trial at the Community Gym (kindly funded through Acts 435) and has found this greatly beneficial for his wellbeing. He has noticed an improvement in his balance and we would be very grateful for any donations to allow J a further three months membership, in order to continue this support and improvement in his health. We are supporting with benefits so that J will hopefully be in a better financial situation and able to self-fund in the future.

S and his wife, A, who have a nine year old daughter, were traumatized by fleeing violence in Iran and arrived here in a small boat. S is awaiting a knee operation and recovering from cancer, and A has lost her mother. They are committed and much loved members of our church, who have just been moved to a totally bare council flat. We have already sourced beds, a fridge and a cooker, and we are looking for carpets to cover the bare floors, but they still need a washer-dryer. Please could you help?

Y, who came to the UK from Eritrea one year ago to seek asylum, still has not received a decision on her asylum claim, which means that she remains unable to work in the UK. Y's current phone is broken, making life in the UK extremely difficult because a phone is needed to do almost everything! Money is very tight, as she only receives £8.86 per week from the National Asylum Support Service (NASS). Y would be so grateful for donations to enable her to buy a basic smartphone, enabling her to participate in life in the UK again.
